RxJava

Since its inception in 2012, RxJava has slowly gained in popularity for enabling reactive programming on Android. It is now deemed as the go-to and leading reactive library. Many companies have adopted the reactive way of programming, including Google, with its release of Android Architecture Components, which has many reactive elements in its design.

In this course, you will learn the fundamental principles of RxJava which will serve as a foundation for experienced Android developers who are new to the library and want to start integrating it into their apps.

Reactive Programming with RxJava

# A quick recap

By now you should have a good understanding of the basic concepts of RxJava. We covered the building blocks of the 3 Os: the `Observer`, and the `Operator`. We've also looked at several functional style operations in the RxJava toolkit that transform, combine and aggregate emissions from an `Observable` until we receive our desired result. You should now also have a pretty good sense of how RxJava can simplify dealing with concurrent processes inherent in developing mobile apps through the use of a `Scheduler`. Collectively, these tools allow us to program in Android in a way that is declarative over the traditional imperative approach.
